Jimmy Fallon to host Emmys

NBC’s late-night stalwart Jimmy Fallon will host the 62nd primetime Emmy Awards, on NBC Sunday, Aug. 29.
Nominations for the awards will be announced Thursday, July 8 at 5:40 a.m. (PT).
Fallon has never won an Emmy; never even been nominated. He takes over the job Conan O’Brien did for the last two awards cycles. As long as he slow jams the news, he’s okay by me.

Joanne Ostrow has been watching TV since before "reality" required quotation marks. "Hill Street Blues" was life-changing. If Dickens, Twain or Agatha Christie were alive today, they'd be writing for television. And proud of it.
